The Process:
The patient visiting the clinic will receive a mini-liposuction procedure, under local anesthetic, and the physician will remove approximately 160 cc's of adipose (fat) tissue from the abdomen. Adipose tissue is primarily composed of the adipocyte tissue (80%) and a network of mostly capillaries that surround the adipocytes.
In a closed sterile process that is very similar to obtaining cells from bone marrow, the vascular tissue after it has been separated from the adipocytes, is washed in a sterile area and placed in a centrifuge and spun at low levels for several minutes. The actual fat tissue that was obtained via the liposuction procedure is discarded. The autologous vascular cells drop to the bottom of the collection container and are prepared for quality testing.
Unlike most companies that use other types of equipment, Intelli Health Plus use a flow cytometer to check each sample for cell viability and the cell count for each patient. This is an important quality step that permits us to generate the safety data that is required to adhere to good laboratory practices.
The entire process takes about 2 hours to complete. Some of the cells are placed into an IV drip bag for administration. The IV treatment takes about 30 minutes. Depending on the areas being treated and the type of injury, cells can be also be placed locally. For example, a case of Osteoarthritis will have an injection of the cells directly into the joint.
